Oscars 2013 Winners: Best Film, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director Awards for Academy Awards 2013 (FULL LIST)

By Anne Thomas, Christian Post Contributor Sunday, February 24, 2013

The Oscars 2013 ceremony took place on Sunday night with the biggest stars of Hollywood coming together. The list of winners is listed below, including the awards for Best Film, Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Director for the Oscars 2013.

The awards this year dropped the more formal traditional approach to the ceremony and attempted to offer a more modernized version of proceedings to ensure the Oscars remains relevant to the younger audience.

As part of that relaxing of traditions, the usual official name of the awards show, "The Academy Awards," has been rebranded this year by producers as simply "The Oscars."

To inject a more youthful feel producers also drafted in Seth MacFarlane to host this year's event, which was held at the Dolby Theater at Hollywood & Highland in Los Angeles.

"Seth provides everything that we were looking for in terms of the host because he is relevant to an audience today and he's funny, charismatic," co-executive producer Neil Meron said of MacFarlane ahead of the event.

He added, "He has great charm. He embodies kind of a post-millennium host in that tradition of Johnny Carson, Bob Hope and Billy Crystal. He is the next step in terms of making the show current."

Below is the list of the 2013 nominees, with the winners highlighted for each category. The awards are listed in the order unveiled during the night.
